An Electric Night For South Carolina Dems

Democratic Activists Celebrate The Field At Raucous Fish Fry

(CBS) 
The event, hyped as "Jim Clyburn’s World Famous Fish Fry," lived up to its billing this year. For most office seekers, it's an event they can't afford to skip if they hope to compete in for the state's primary voters, currently slated to as the fourth state to vote for Democrats on January 29 of next year. Because of South Carolina's large African-American population — blacks make up some 29% of South Carolina’s population and are expected to account for up to half of Democratic primary voters — Clyburn's position as the highest-ranking African American in the House has made his the most sought-after endorsement in the state.

Clyburn says he won't make an endorsement until closer to the primary, if he does at all. In 2004, he backed former Rep. Richard Gephardt, who dropped out of the race before South Carolina even voted. Instead, the state's power broker spent his time at last week's events promoting his state and mostly praising what he described as "one of the most exciting fields" his party has ever assembled.

Likewise, those who stopped by the fish fry were far more in the mood for a celebration about Democratic prospects overall than internal comparisons. Trying to shout above the din, Clinton said, "I’ve been all over the world, I've been to all kinds of political events and I think I can honestly say that I’ve never seen anything quite like Jim Clyburn's fish fry!" Judging by the sheer volume of cheers coming out of that parking garage in downtown Columbia last Friday night, these Democrats, at least, have never seen anything quite like this field of candidates.

us_infidel,

I don't know what Hillary's name is today(and frankly, I don't care).

I do know that Cheney is still the *** and Bush is still the drunken traitorous lying coward.

May 2, 2007 -- WASHINGTON - Jet-setting Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton is a fussy frequent flier who used three different planes in a single day during a recent campaign swing through South Carolina.

The former first lady even grounded one aircraft -a chartered Gulfstream II - in Columbia, S.C., last Friday, demanding a swankier Gulfstream III replacement for a flight out west.

"She didn't like the configuration of the cabin," an aviation source familiar with Clinton's travel told The Post.

What's Hillary's name, today??? :)

From The Sunday Times

"Watergate reporter demolishes Hillary%u2019s career story. With the thoroughness for which he is famous, Bernstein spoke to more than 200 of Clinton%u2019s friends, colleagues and adversaries. He stops short of accusing the New York senator of blatantly lying about her past, but has unearthed examples of where she has played fast and loose with the facts about her %u201Cpersonal and political life%u201D, according to Knopf.

The book could revive the explosive charge, made earlier this year by David Geffen, a former Clinton donor and Hollywood mogul, that %u201Cthe Clintons lie with such ease, it%u2019s troubling%u201D."

She said, in her best fake southern accent,
"I can honestly say that I've never seen anything quite like Jim Clyburn%u2019s fish fry!"
Hillary Clinton (not Rodham)
